Q:
My husband refuses to give up his bachelor days furniture. How can I get him to get rid of this stuff and replace it with new furniture?
A: Give him an incentive to go shopping for new furniture. Why don't you do some of the legwork and research to make shopping easier? That way he won't be so intimidated by the furniture stores. He'll thank you in the end because he will love the comfort of the new furniture and you'll appreciate the updated look.
 
Q: My spouse and I have very different tastes in decorating and furniture. How can we bring our styles together tastefully?
A: Why not go for an eclectic look in your house – one that is highly individualistic, yet features a mix of compatible styles. Bring it all together with color, using accessories, lamps and artwork to create a sense of continuity.
